I’m a Minnesota native in UT now, nothing compared to MN here in salt lake.
I’ll be cheering on the new Utah team except for when they play the Wild.:)

Actually you don't pay much attention to hockey at all not just NHL

It's a very small part of sports in Utah right now.

I wonder how much of a hockey city LV was before the Kinghts came to town

Now.....how much of a hockey town was Phoenix?

It all comes down to winning. Hockey didn’t catch on in Phoenix because the team has 1 division championship in 30 years

I’m a big sports fan in general and have a passing interest in the NHL

It all depends on how good the team is. There was virtually no hockey interest in Vegas 6 years ago. Knights show up…
